What did Galileo Galilei like to do?
to make a telescopes and find things with telescopes he found lunar craters and mountains, sun spots, Jupiter's four moons. He also made the telescope better so that it had a convex and concave lenses not two concave lenses. (i know this is not the best answer but it ok i guess.)
What year did Galileo Galilei invent the first telescope?
Galileo Galilei didn't actually invent the telescope. A Dutchman, Hans Leppershey, invented 'a device used to hold two lenses apart that focused on refracting light through the lenses to make objects look closer' in 1608. He applied for a patent on it but it was declined because other scientists claimed to have made similar items. Galileo heard of this and decided to build his own, calling it a 'looking glass' that was based on Leppershey's work.
Why was Galileo Galilei a Renaissance man?
Galileo Galilei was from Pisa, Italy.
Who is known for making the world's first practical microscope by devising special lenses?
Antoni van Leeuwenhoek
What year did Galileo invent the telescope?
Galileo (1564-1642) is often credited with the invention of the telescope, when in fact he only improved upon it. The earliest telescopes were built in 1608 by three separate Dutch spectacle makers: Hans Lippershey (who patented one), Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius. The following year, 1609, Galileo heard of the use of lenses in this manner, and built telescopes of his own, which quickly brought him great prestige in Venice. In 1610 his telescopes allowed him to observe the known planets and discover the first moons around Jupiter.
When did Galileo galilei invent the microscope?
Galileo Galilei invented the light microscope in 1609. His invention was a great improvement and had both convex and concave lenses.

Why did Anton Van Leeuwenhoek invented the magnifying lenses?
to build things
How was the first compound microscope different than Anton van leeuwenhoek microscope?
The first compound microscope is diffrent by having more lenses than Antoy Van Leeuwenhoeks.....Antony Van Leewenuhoeks micorscope only has one sigle lens....
What kind of lenses did Galileo used to build the first telescope?
galileo used glass with a layer of plastic.
What type of microscope did Leeuwenhoek create with one lens?
The simple microscope, defined as having one lens, was enhanced by Leeuwenhoek. Many of the compound (multiple lensed) microscopes were blurry, but Leeuwenhoek ground his own lenses.
Why was Galileo Galilei a Renaissance man?
Galileo Galilei was from Pisa, Italy.
Who was known for using lenses to help make scientific discoveries?
Galileo
Who developed the light microscope?
It was developed, and then you might say improved or modified over time. Zaccharias Janssen and Hans Janssen experimented with lenses that would help make the light microscope, as did Galileo. Anton van Leeuwenhoek also experimented with microscopes and so did Robert Hooke.
